For 15 years, we’ve conducted successful, state-observed stack tests for a wide variety of manufacturing operations, all at affordable prices.

In the 1990s, many small businesses were required to conduct stack tests for the first time. In order to provide testing services at prices affordable by small businesses, we  began performing compliance stack tests. By 2007, we had conducted state-observed stack tests in EPA Regions III, V and VII, including tests for criteria pollutants (Particulate Matter, Carbon Monoxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen (NO_x), Volatile Organic Compounds and Lead) and for many Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs).

Types of manufacturing operations tested include (but are not limited to) foundries, surface coating operations (on metal, wood and/or plastic), woodworking, chromium electroplating and secondary metal processors.

EPA Test Methods performed by RMAenviro include:

Method 1 — Sample and velocity traverses for stationary sources

Method 2 — Determination of stack gas velocity and volumetric flow rate (Type S pitot tube)

Method 2F — Determination of Stack Gas Velocity and Volumetric Flow Rate With Three-Dimensional Probes

Method 3 — Gas analysis for the determination of dry molecular weight

Method 4 — Determination of moisture content in stack gases

Method 5 — Determination of particulate matter emissions from stationary sources

Method 6 — Determination of sulfur dioxide emissions from stationary sources

Method 6C — Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Stationary Sources (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure)

Method 7 — Determination of Nitrogen Oxides Emissions from Stationary Sources (Spectrophotometer Analysis Procedure)

Method 7E — Determination of Nitrogen Oxides Emissions from Stationary Sources (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure)

Method 8 — Determination of sulfuric acid mist and sulfur dioxide emissions from stationary sources

Method 9 — Visual determination of the opacity of emissions from stationary sources

Method 10 — Determination of carbon monoxide emissions from stationary sources

Method 12 — Determination of inorganic lead emissions from stationary sources

Method 19 — Determination of sulfur dioxide removal efficiency and particulate, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emission rates

Method 23 — Determination of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans from Stationary Sources

Method 25A — Determination of total gaseous organic concentration using a flame ionization analyzer

Method 26 — Determination of Hydrogen Chloride Emissions from Stationary Sources

Method 202 — Condensible Particulate Matter

Method 204 — Permanent or Temporary Total Enclosure (TTE) for Determining Capture Efficiency

Method 204A — VOCs in Liquid Input Stream

Method 204B — VOCs in Captured Stream

Method 204D — Fugitive VOCs from Temporary Total Enclosure
